MASHPEE — An 87-year-old man crashed his car into a storefront at Mashpee Commons on Friday afternoon when he inadvertently stepped on the accelerator instead on the brake, Mashpee police said.

Wilfred B. Greenly, of Mashpee, was leaving the parking lot on Market Street at noon when he allegedly drove his car into the front of the Cape Cod Country Smiles doll shop on Bates Road, Police Chief Rodney Collins said. No injuries were reported.

The crash damaged a column in front of the store, the door and a wall, but the cost of the damage has not yet been assessed, Collins said.

There was no indication that Greenly suffered a medical emergency at the time of the crash, and the incident remains under investigation, the chief said.
